6. BLOGS HISTORY
The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger on 17 December 1997. The
short form, "blog," was coined by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the
word weblog into the phrase “we blog” in the sidebar of his blog
Peterme.com in April or May 1999. Shortly after, Evan Williams at Pyra
Labs used "blog" as both a noun and verb ("to blog," meaning "to edit
one's weblog or to post to one's weblog") and devised the term
"blogger" in connection with Pyra Labs' Blogger product, leading to the
popularization of the terms.
